Steve Feldman, 847 141st Avenue NC/, indicated he tried to do a development with the Amoco <br />site, but could not, so now he is working on this project. He stated he wants to be neighborhood <br />friendly, noting as an office condo park anything he can do to make it neighborhood friendly will <br />make the sales easier as well. He indicated his concern with the trail is going through property <br />he does not have. He agrees it would be better not to go through the Amoco site, but indicated <br />Outlot B is someone else's property. He stated he has an option on Outlot A but it depends on <br />how quickly the first phase sells out. He indicated he is not sure about the City's request that he <br />pay for the trail and get reimbursed. <br /> <br />Mr. Feldman stated the parking is based on one spot for every 200 square feet. He noted that the <br />parking requirements are different for leasing offices versus selling them, as he would be looking <br />at doctors, lawyers, etc. that are more established and have a larger clientele. He indicated he felt <br />it was better to have more than not enough. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shepherd asked how many tenants there would be per building. <br /> <br />Mr. Feldman indicated there are six units per building. He stated that for the berm and <br />landscaping he wants something very nice, which will again make it easier to sell. <br /> <br />Associate Plmmer Wald indicated Staff talked about the need for the trail corridor, and asked the <br />applicant's engineer to give them ideas on how it could lay out. She stated that was given to <br />them today and Staff has not had a chance to review it. She indicated they feel it is important <br />and needs more analysis but that it can be worked out. She stated the parking could probably be <br />dropped some. <br /> <br />Mr. Feldman stated he worked the numbers and dropping it down to 40 stalls only reduced the <br />impervious surface from 49% to 40%, so he would still need a variance. He indicated that with <br />the traffic on Xkimo Street he does not think there are enough signs to tell you the speed limit. <br />He stated he is concerned about traffic flow, but does not think that his professional clients will <br />have' office hours during rush hour, which will help. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer asked if he was willing to move the main entrance to 143rd Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Feldman stated that is a piece of property he does not own. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald commented that Staff would be uncomlbrtable having only one access <br />point for eighteen units. She stated they can look at other traffic control measures, but would <br />want two access points. She noted that the access that comes into the first phase straddles both <br />properties and is a shared access for Phase 1 and Outlot A. She added a cross-easement would be <br />needed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated he is still uncomfortable with two accesses, especially because there <br />are a lot of kids on this street. He indicated if those kids have to look for two well used entrances <br />it starts to cause problems. <br /> <br />P12 <br /> <br />Planning Commission/December 2, 2004 <br /> Page 12 of 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
